BEFORE THE BATTLE OF STONY POINT. ^KrcrEO nr "H/ufMuc chaptcr ‘i.',.d.a.r nr? ^ 'Sm Mr, lLlIT For almost 50 years this marker at the corner of Crickettown Rd. and Rt. 210, Stony Point, swung on its crossbar; then wind and weather took toll, so Supervisor Lucien Conklin and the town Park Commission repaired it and in a joint ceremony with Shatemuc Chapter, D.A.R., the historical society and nine direct descendents of David Springsteel, the marker was rededicated June 13, 1981. Sallie Akester. D.A.R. regent; William F. Eberle, president, historical society; Dan de Noyelles, historian; Michael Springsteel addressed the gathering. Later the group met at the Springsteel Farm boulder. OUR COVER STORY On July 16, 1932, Shatemuc Chapter, D.A.R., unveiled an historic marker to celebrate the 153rd anniversary of the capture of Stony Point by Gen. Anthony Wayne and his select troops, which had marched from Sandy Beach (above Ft. Montgomery) to the David Springsteel farm on Frank Rd., where they awaited further orders. Another D.A.R. marker, an inscribed boulder, shows the former site of the farmhouse. Also celebrated at the time was the bicentennial of the birth of George Washington. Culled from old files of the Rockland County Messenger by Dan deNoyelles: HISTORIC SPOT IS MARKED BY D.A.R. Marker Unveiled Saturday At Old Springsteel Farm at Stony Point On the 153rd anniversary of the date when General Anthony Wayne camped on the old Springsteel farm at Stony Point, Shatemuc Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, unveiled a tablet on Saturday commemorating that historic event. Wayne camped on the farm from eight o’clock until midnight. A parade of automobiles and marchers proceeded to the highway marker where a platform had been erected. Here addresses were made by Miss Susan Coe Blauvelt of Nyack, regent of the chapter; Miss Cornelia Bedell, author, of Nyack; Mrs. Charles E. Conover of Pearl River, chairman of the committee and Calvin T. Allison, of Stony Point, county superintendent of highways and a member of an old family long prominent in the history of the area. Miss Lorena Deas of Stony Point led the singing. After the ceremonies, the procession proceeded to the farm, which had been carefully prepared under the direction of Mr. Allison. Here the speakers were Frederick W. Penny, noted lawyer of Haverstraw and Brewster J. Allison, well- known citizen of Stony Point. The motor cavalcade then resumed the trip past the historic Queensboro Trail and returned to Stony Point where a box repast was served. Members of the committee in charge of the event were Miss Bedell, Miss Matilda Springsteen of Spring Valley and Mrs. Conover. The Stony Point committee consisted of Miss Grace E. Treadway, Mrs. Calvin T. Allison, Mrs. Richard Rodermond, Miss Helen VanValer and Miss Fannie Van Valer. BICENTENNIAL SERVICE AT METHODIST CHURCH The union George Washington Bicentennial service at the Methodist Church Sunday was well attended... a fitting opening of the Washington celebration in Haverstraw. Jack Harley, the organist, played as his prelude “March Militaire” by Schubert and the choir sang the Bicentennial song, “The Father of the Land We Love’’ by George M. Cohan. As the colors advanced up the center aisle of the old church, the congregation sang, “My Country ‘Tis of Thee”. Mrs. Lillian McVeigh, special soloist, sang “My Country” and the pastor, Rev. Nevie Cutlip took as his subject, “George Washington, the Christian.” © 1981 The Historical Society of Rockland County Editor: Mariruth Campbell Editorial Associate: Marianne Leese Printed by PRINT SPRINT 2 June 13, 1981: Virginia Houghton, Frances Anderson, Sallie Akester. regent.

Proposed was a contest for four teams of five walkers each in a series of ten- mile treks in four locations along the river. Three teams were made up and sponsored by the Newburgh Journal the Poughkeepsie Star and the Kingston Leader. The sponsors combed the rest of the valley for a fourth team but no one seemed anxious to challenge the “Big Three.” Finally the Rockland County Messenger of Haverstraw, published by the Freyfogle family, accepted late in the season —near the starting date, April 27. It was Wednesday the 24th when some of the boys were asked, “Do you want to race 10 miles on Saturday?” Five Haverstraw youths accepted: William Lane, William Flynn, Lee Mackey, Foster Schreeder and Ed Freyfogle. Charles W. Bacon was press representative and George G. Melvin agreed to coach. Thus teams of five walkers selected by the newspapers contested the championship of the valley for Rockland, Orange, Dutchess and Ulster Counties. Considering they started the ten-mile grind practically unprepared, all the Haverstraw entrants did remarkably well, finishing 7th, 11th, 12th, 13th and 15th. This gave Haverstraw third place in the team scores of Poughkeepsie, 33; Newburgh, 24; Haverstraw, 15; Kingston, 5. William Clary of Poughkeepsie was the winner in 1 hr. 35 min. and 35 sec; a phenomenal feat considering the number of hills, steep grades and muddy con­ dition of two miles of the course at Newburgh. Clary finished about one-half mile ahead of Howard Howroyd also of Poughkeepsie. Seventeen rivals walked, for Newburgh, Haverstraw and Poughkeepsie had full teams while Kingston, which had included three women walkers in its team, had only two entrants. The young ladies resided outside of Kingston proper and were unable to get into town because of rain and thus couldn't make the trip to Newburgh, where the first match was held. The race drew immense crowds who braved the damp, cold day and waited more than an hour to see the race. The walkers in their stretch over the principal streets of Newburgh were viewed by nearly the whole population of that up-river city and its nearby villages. Cramps in his legs bothered untrained William Lane, always known as Willie. William Flynn, known as Bill, succeeded in staying close, passed Shorter and Russell of Poughkeepsie and finished ahead of the Newburgh entrants. After an early attempt to hold to the pace, Schreeder, Mackey and Freyfogle were forced to drop back. Merchandise prizes for the first twelve walkers were donated by the merchants of Newburgh. In addition, the boys received points toward the team and individual champion­ ships of the Hudson Valley. Placements in the first race were: 1. Clary, 2. Howroyd, 3. Fritz Knauss, all of Poughkeepsie; 4. Morrison. 5. Allison, 6. Berry of Newburgh; 7. Flynn of 4 Haverstraw; 8. McDonald of Newburgh; 9. Russell of Poughkeepsie; 10. Calvin Smith of Newburgh; 11. Lane, 12. Schreeder, 13. Mackey of Haverstraw; 14. Shorter of Poughkeepsie; 15. Freyfogle of Haverstraw. The two Kingston entrants did not finish the course. In the second race (part of the greatest walking match ever staged in the Hudson Valley) on April 29, 1916, the Haverstraw team proved it had overcome inexperience and lack of formal training to forge its way into the winner’s circle. The newly found speed of the Haverstraw boys was little short of miraculous. Their showing at Poughkeepsie proved the local boys could “step some". After the Newburgh event, it was whispered among the betting fraternity that Rockland County boys had speed but lacked staying powers. This second race showed they had developed both faster pacing and increased stamina brought on through a strict training schedule in only a week’s time. The course in Poughkeepsie was carefully mapped through the city. Much interest was shown by the citizens. All along the course excited bystanders, cheering their fellow townsmen, watched the progress of the walkers, followed by automobiles with the press and city officials. The Haverstraw team was augmented with Campbell Skerry*. Standings for the second race were: 1. Lane, 2. Flynn, of Haverstraw; 3. Clary, 4. Walter Knauss, 5. Howroyd, of Poughkeepsie; 6. McDonald, 7. Irving Rubin of Newburgh; 8. L. R. Russell, Poughkeepsie; 9. Wm. R. Morrison, 10. Fred J. Berry, of Newburgh; 11. Schreeder, Haverstraw; 12. Allison, Kingston; 13. Campbell Skerry, Haverstraw: 14. Galvin Smith, Newburgh; 15. Lee Mackey, Haverstraw; 16. Charles McCann, Kingston; 17. Freyfogle, Haverstraw. *A city could enter many contestants but only the first five would score. Premium walkers of the 1916 Havrstraw team: (left to right) Bill "Willie" Lane. Bill Skerry, and Bill Flynn. 5 This great race by Lane and Flynn caused a great amount of rivalry between handlers and friends of Clary and managers of the Newburgh and Haverstraw teams. When Lane and Flynn threatened Clary’s lead, one of the Poughkeepsie enthusiasts jumped from his car and proceeded to walk ahead to pace Clary. This was protested at once and started a violent argument. The Poughkeep- sians, who by the way were not members of the Board of Judges, then tried to worry Lane and Flynn by yelling they were running and they would have them disqualified.

    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book.

I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book.
